SUBJECTS WILL BE
CHOSEN FRIDAY
TURN ABOUT FAIR PLAY
First Choice of Subjects For Next
Term Must Be Made
This Week
Mr. Benton has announced
that the preliminary choice of
subjects for next term will be
made on Friday of this week, so
n is up to everyone to be thinking ahead and planning for his
work next semester. Too much
painstaking ani care cannot b-
employed in this matter of choosing subjects.
Especially is this of importance
to the seniors who are contemplating going to college next September. They should understand
that no college admits a student
on a diploma of Shortridge alone.
Colleges admit only those who
have done the work required for
entrance to that college, hence it
is necessary that each senior find
out the requirements for the college to which he wishes to go and
prepare toward that end. Girls,
who are going to Eastern colleges
should also know that they require Mathematics VIII,
Attention is called to the fact
that Cicero II and Trigonometry
will not be given unless a sufficient number sign up to warrant
their being offered. A fine opportunity is offered for manual
training work but it will not be
retained in the course unless a
sufficient number show an interest
and desire to keep it. Also the
work in art melat and pottery
will be continued if enough sign
up for it.
Those seniors who do not intend to go to college may substitute mathematics VII for mathematics V, but this is advisable
only to those who are absolutely
sure that they will never go to
college, as all colleges require
mathematics V. Also the importance of the commercial courses
cannot bc impressed too greatly
on those who will go from school
into business life. Commercial
English, geography and arithmetic
will be found immeasurably
helpful to those in the business
world, so it is urged that as many
as possible take advantage of the
opportunity.
Office boy, to editor: "There's a
tramp at the door, and he says
he has had nothing to eat for six
days."
Editor: "Fetch him in. If we
find out how he does it, we can
run this paper for another week."

The Basketball Season Is
Now Launched on 11 s Career
CAPTAINS RAU, BURNS, MORRISON AND JUDD
CHOOSE THEIR TEAMS
. Yesterday afternoon at 2:30 all the boys who had handed in
their names as candidates to play basketball gathered in the study
hall, where each of the four captains chosen by the managers, picked
the nucleus from which they are to choose their respective teams.
Mr. Baker, who has charge of the basketball work, started the meeting with a short talk, in which he outlined the situation ol basketball as it now stands, and emphasized the various rules under which
the boys must play this year. As has been previously announced,
two teams, a first and second, will be chosen by each captain; the
first teams will play against each other and the second teams will
meet only teams of their own class. In determining the standing of
the respective teams, that of the first team will count two-thirds, and
that of the second team one-third. Therefore, it is quite possible that
a good second team will be instrumental in winning the pennant for
one team. Mr. Baker also announced that no game will be postponed for any reason whatever, and every game will be played as
scheduled. After Mr. Baker's talk the (our captains chose their
respective teams from the names written on the blackboard. The
choice was as follows:
Burns, captain of the Blues, chose Potter, Toole, Hawley, Barr,
Griffith, Mantell, Rous, Moore, Stephenson, Trone, Hymer, Jarvis,
Sparks and Banes.
Judd, captain of the Reds, chose Ray, McVey, Eddy, Murray,
Shepherd, Sherman, Coburn, Wilson, Linton, Macy, Socwell, Brown,
Houston and Bcnhani.
I Rau, captain of the Grays, chose Findley, Wiley, Ogle, Hasselman,
Trook, Boyd, Hendricks, Gillman, Renick, Mathews, Pennell, Morgan,
Thurman, Benham, Jones.
Morrison, captain of the Whites, chose Metcalf, Weist, Henderson, Spangler, Lewis, Reynolds, Gregory, V. Morgan, Spiegel, Donaldson, Keenaugh, Levy, Sublette, Shubrick.
Athough the managers have not announced the schedule as yet,
the first game of the season will be played on Thursday afternoon
at 3:00, in the gymnasium.
